i remember when usher's original hit mtv back in '96 and it was a massive hit and fact of the matter is i loved this tune. "nice & slow" is a kind of a sexier tune and a bit better but when jermaine dupri still had some good productions in him, this was a couple of those. when i saw the cdsingle for 'you make me wanna' in a second hand store with remixes from luminaries like timbaland and lil' jon, i was intrrigued. actually i knew about the existence of those remixes and i wanted to find the uk single with the tuff jam garage remixes but i'll find those another day, probably.
before lil' jon became a meme, laughingstock and something for random hacks to copy everything from, he was another big southern producer and he did tracks with his group. this remix sounds like very much like lil' jon and has that dirty south kind of raw hiphop sound. the tr-808 is used for it's drums, hihats are vibrant and the bass is subby and raw and along that you have rugged synth strings. it's a quite a simple production but fact of the matter it really works.
